Shure did that when they were reporting on their studies of what the effects of (elliptical ?) sylii had in relation to the tracking force/ultimate psi on a record surface. Rough memory says that about 1.5 grams or so (not exactly positive) equale... 
Spindle hole restoration?
How valuable is the record? Off the top of my head, a reamer will cost say $25.00 or more. I have neasured the spindle of a Dual, removable spindle at approxinately .279"If you wanted to put a thin bushing in there, first you need material. Then y... 
Spindle hole restoration?
You might have a whole new market for yourself. What exactly is the problem? 
Altec A7 What to do
They knew about WAF back then too, but then women were a bit different. Klipschorn, EV Patricians, Centurions, Georgians, Bozak Concert Grands, Jensen Imperials, Karlsons, to name a few.Altec Magnificents & a few other of their & the above... 
Altec A7 What to do
The last iteration of the A7 you found was done by Altec *.* Technologies, if I got the name right. They were the sucessor to Sparkomatic. Their speakers were done by Great Plains Audio. I doubt they ever sold one at that price. Regardless, that v... 
Altec A7 What to do
Truck bed spray on liner. And mount them inside the port, woofer down. Carefully, very carefully remove the screws, and best to use a non magnetic screwtriver. The magnetic field is huge. This force is known to suck in screws and screwdrivers. 
Altec A7 What to do
keep 'em. Get over how much floor space they take up.I have similar sized speakers stuffed with Altec parts, just like the A7. But with a 13 cubic foot IB enclosure, just with 2 416a woofers.My listening room is small, about 13x13x8.5.I enjoy the ... 
Speaker cabinet: Enclosure design for WE 755?

Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?

Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?
Must add... I just did a web search of Cross pens (sets) & they do have them in 18k, so, from a 14kt gf to 18kt is only a $5K difference. So flaunt it if you've got it. (Hate to lose one!) 
Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?
If you buy the Cross 14kt gold filled it still uses a $3.00 generic refill. I don't know if Cross makes a more expensive pen, but I think new that one runs around a "C note."I have some of them & also a Waterford GF pen but I can't find a refi... 
Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well?
This kind of reminds me of when one of the UASF bands was on tour & I attended the concert. Twice I had the opportunity. The last time I was seated a bit farther away in an old refurbushed multilevel theater. Some of the HF I expected to be a ... 
Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
Faraday cages are somewhat difficult to fully implement & can be unsightly, However, I once had a customer which because of lack of space needed to put one component of top of another & I used some aluminum foil to reduce hum.Many solid st...
